Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Once we went through the budgeting process and following the committee recommendation that was to cut back $2.5 million after meeting our targets, we had to cut some more in the second year and some more in the third year. This department had taken quite a lot of cuts in the whole budgeting process. Once the $900,000 in the tanker mooring came up, I did say to the committee that I didn't want to cut any more and, therefore, that's why it remained in the books.
The committee is saying that they're surprised that it is still there. What I did is I recommended to the committee, approached the Financial Management Board and had approval to reallocate the $900,000 for the tanker moorings until after Mr. O'Brien's steering committee had done its work. The projects that we had approved were projects that were going to happen anyway in the next year. So what we did was just move some projects ahead. That's how we took care of that. I hope that explains the position that I've taken on this particular one to the honourable Member. Thank you.
